If I may throw my two cents in, it does need some optimizing in some areas. I'm running it on a 2700x, a gtx 1080, 16GB of ram and have this on an ssd and yet there are some FPS drops here and there. Granted the settings are mostly on high or above iirc, but I still see 40-50 fps here and there, at 1440p, which is not quite what you'd expect on a 1080 in this game. The 1080 is no longer cutting edge, that much I know, the resolution is of no help either, but it's still not a 1050 and the game is no Metro Exodus either. Still, there is potential, so here's hoping there will be some optimization in the future. My only fear is that they accumulate too much 'technical debt', simply put, if some code needs to be redone/optimized/changed/etc, the longer you wait, the harder it may be to do so as more and more code is written that may use that existing code and depend on it to work a certain way and it may need a rework as well since sometimes optimizing may require a fundamental change to how it worked.
